Michigan And Arizona Primary - Open Thread

I'm watching the Fox News coverage. Fox News just predicted Mitt Romney will "easily win" Arizona, "as expected." Michigan appears to be a different story. Fox is saying Romney holds a slim lead but it's too early to call. Ron Paul is predicted for third and Newt Gingrich fourth in MI.

What are you guys watching? Any thoughts?

Pig Newton’s Presidential crusade will hopefully grind to a halt after Super Tuesday. Other than possibly Georgia, he won’t win another State primary. Pig can then focus full-time on whoring up enough cash to pay off Calista’s Tiffany jewelry account.

In fact the only good thing about these primaries is that they are gonna tax the wallets of the Rep. doners and the general election will cost em even more. But hey. Don’t ask em to pay an extra $10 grand in taxes to help the country.

We don’t think The Mitt will beat Obama. There’s a lot of people who don’t like him. Some Bible-thumping christian conservatives consider the Mormon religion a cult, and will sit it out in November than vote for a Mormon.

Interesting notes from ABC exit poll:
Romney leaned on some of his customary support groups, notably well-off voters and senior citizens â effective elements, if not necessarily the most compelling ones for a national campaign. He won senior citizens, but split voters under age 65 with Santorum. He won $100,000-plus voters, but no other income group. He especially won $200,000-plus voters, around which itâs hard to build a slogan for the masses.

Indeed, in a result suggesting that Romney won more heads than hearts, he beat Santorum by a 2-1 margin, 54-26 percent, as the candidate seen as most likely to defeat Barack Obama in November. Yet the contest between the two in this primary was a far closer one than that.

Hey Mitt Rmoney, I know several people who worked very hard only to see their jobs be outsourced or eliminated so executives could get their beloved bonuses. You know all about that, right Mitt? Makes you feel all Yankee Doodle inside, don’t it?

And Obama wants to raise your taxes? Was everyone in that room the upper 1%?

He was holding up a piece of shale and saying that companies are afraid to invest because they are wary of Obama. So why does N.D. have so many jobs for fracking that people are coming in to the state from all around to fill the job openings.

Santorum just gave a speech about how Obama’s regulations are keeping unemployment high and uses North Dakota as an example. Doesn’t N.D. have the LOWEST unemployment in the U.S at around 3.3%? What is this guy smoking?
